This was a pretty good book, though I would have liked a little bit more detail of her life. I didn't enjoy it as much as some of the other Monica Hughes books I've read. Re-reading it as an adult, I found the main character a little bit annoying, though she did grow through the book. Her tendency to act without thinking of the consequences put her and others in danger.
People who enjoy post apocalyptic and dystopian fiction would probably enjoy this one.
